Snake-Bitten U.S. CEO Against Jordan's Urban PoorThere was once a U.S. CEO who was unfortunately bitten by a very poisonous viper. The full name of the viper that bit this man is: "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely." The Other Victims of the Viper's VenomThe CEO of this somewhat Christian Organization that helps the poor of many nations to cooperate together to build affordable housing, was not the only victim of this poisonous viper's bite. And this next victim is especially strategic since this very dangerous man is the main advisor to the present P.M. of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. Yes, also apparently inoculated with its toxic venom was the current director of the CIA of the Middle East, the Israeli Mossad. From the article appearing in the 12/21/2009 Newsweek magazine it appears that Iran's and many other Muslim's worst enemy is Mossad Chief, Meir Dagon. One ominous quote regarding the illegal murderous activities of Mossad Chief Dagon is: "Dagon's single-minded focus quickly showed results. Iran's nuclear scientists began disappearing, labs caught fire, and aircraft fell from the sky." These three pre-emptive acts of undeclared war that are never openly criticized by U.S. officials, still do not fully reveal the extent of the extreme measures unilaterally taken by this one arrogant, calloused man. According to Newsweek, his reply to subordinates regarding a European bank being used to channel money from Iran to Hamas was: "We have the address, no? Burn it down!" In fairness, it must be emphasized that the American CEO's style did not involve violence as practiced by the violent Israeli Mossad chief. Nevertheless, psychological violence and economic violence can be virtually equally devastating to its victims. Yet, such authoritarian tactics have been the tactics of the U.S. CEO of this internationally recognized, heavily Western supported house building organization. Nevertheless, his actions have done great harm to Jordan's poor families when both psychological and economic damage done to them are factored in. One more obvious victim of this evil serpent's deadly venom must be mentioned. This is the Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely that also bit U.S. Vice President, Dick "Water Boarding is Not Torture" Cheney. There are so many obvious signs of what this viper's venom did to this man's heart and mind that I need not list the suffering to others that the snake-bite to Cheney caused. Even President Jimmy Carter was attacked for Supporting West Bank MuslimsIt is significant to note that a former still living U.S. President has been a very public supporter of the excellent work to help the poor that this organization has done. Yet, when this former President crossed a forbidden line and became too supportive of the Palestinians and too outspoken about their victimization by the Israelis, he himself became a vicious target of many from all across the non-Muslim and non Arab religious and political spectrum by their strong criticism of him. So it is relevant to note that the successful and dedicated national director of Jordan's housing organization who was harassed into resigning, experienced the false accusations against him for embezzlement that came only after he had raised considerable support money to explore aiding mainly West Muslim Bank Muslim Palestinians so that they too could become involved in their own neighborhood house building projects sponsored by this house building organization. That potential linkage between helping the West Bank mostly Muslim Palestinians and the false fraud charges against the director were noted not by the harassed director. Instead, it was emphasized by his loyal staff subordinates who felt strongly that his open commitment to aid the usually unpopular and victimized Palestinians was quite probably in the organization's mind the main factor that brought the Jordan national director into extreme disfavor with the U.S. CEO immediately after a few false rumors began to circulate about his supposed financial wrong doing. This was due to the international CEO being especially aware of the strong bias against Palestinian Muslims by so many of this organization's financial supporters. So the Jordan director's spear-heading of a potentially successful new work for out of favor West Bank Muslim Palestinians could possibly seriously jeopardize some of the needed Evangelical Christian financial support for the larger world wide organization. So a few false rumors became the pretense the CEO needed to go after the much too innovative Jordan National Director. So the false rumors were the equivalent of the presence of weapons of mass destruction to get rid of this dedicated servant of Jordan's urban poor. The obvious injustice of this possible rationale is this. In order to sufficiently undermine the resourceful national director in order to harass him into resigning, the false embezzlement charges had to be serious enough to keep him permanently out of the country or even locked up in a Jordanian or U.S. prison. But what was totally ignored in the process to seriously punitively punish and marginalize this dedicated director were to totally ignore the deeper needs of the urban poor of Jordan whom he had been so effectively and uniquely serving. In order to provide insight in how extremely effective this one dedicated servant of Jordan was being in going beyond immediate housing needs to help Jordan's urban poor, we will refer to a three page feature article in the September 2009 issue of Jordan's leading business magazine, Jordan Business. In this article, the driven from the country, former national director, is necessarily never mentioned. However, every idea and concept that is emphasized in this comprehensive article for meeting the deeper needs of Jordan's urban poor, each were originally initiated by this highly innovative and visionary national director and taught to others when he started with his company's full knowledge a parallel organization called "Entity Green." (Ironically, it was due to some basic accounting errors in temporarily mixing the funds between the original housing organization and the new Entity Green organization that could have easily been cleared up with basic communication when the problems were initially discovered, that resulted in causing the solvable rumors.) Request for Mediation RefusedInstead of reasonable efforts to solve the small problem, exaggerated criminal charges were brought against the resourceful, dedicated director so that he could no longer continue to use his expertise and leadership to provide aid for Jordan's urban poor. Unexplainably and indefensively, this CEO would not allow constructive explanatory communication or mediation. Thus, callously the deeper needs of many poor families of Jordan were callously sacrificed on one of two wicked altars or possibly on both altars. The one sacrificial altar was making certain that no donors were offended by the West Bank Muslim poor being served and thus potentially endangering the contribution base. The other sacrificial altar on which the deeper needs of Jordan's poor families were being sacrificed was to suppress the unappreciated zeal of the national director who was daring to go beyond the rigid guidelines of the international organization in the ways Jordan's national organization was allowed to serve families experiencing severe financial limitations. Thus, due to a strong vision that was beyond what the international CEO was capable of tolerating or appreciating, the too fast moving national director was ruthlessly, callously and maliciously incapacitated so that a visionary servant of Jordan's urban poor was virtually thrown into the garbage dump. Thus, his effective career to help the poor was put on hold if not permanently destroyed. But even more tragically, the poor of Jordan were needlessly deprived of an innovative, resourceful, effective visionary leader. Why? Because one careless, supposedly Christian CEO allowed himself to be bitten by the venomous serpent named, "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely." Yet, despite the power of one person who is intoxicated with his own power, it does give such a person an additional measure of power when he locates for himself a cooperative enabler. In this enabler situation we will look at two contrasting roles that insurance can play. Interestingly, one word will helpfully isolate the two contrasting roles that insurance can play and both roles can be described with an instrument or weapon that just happens to rhyme with the name of the international insurance company that served this CEO's international house building organization's insurance needs. In order to think of the company's name, think of the destructive weapon that a cave man used to break the bones or to crush the skull of his enemy. So that short word ironically rhymes with the name of this insurance company. But of course no Christian organization would supposedly want to use insurance to crush the bones or skull of an enemy because the Christian Scriptures admonish the Christian to even avoid using the law against an enemy because the Christ himself taught his followers not to consider others as their enemies. So in contrast to the weapon the cave man used in ancient years to incapacitate and destroy his enemy, let us think for a moment of the golf instrument that Mrs. Woods was reported to have used to save her injured husband Tiger from the wrecked car so that he could immediately receive emergency healing medical treatment. So the resourceful Mrs. Woods showed us that this instrument that can be used to hit a golf ball and was used as a weapon by the ancient cave man to crush a skull, can also be used to recover an injured husband from a wrecked car so that the injured body of the unconscious professional golfer can receive needed medical treatment. So this instrument that she used to save life also conveniently rhymes with the name of the international insurance company serving this CEO. Thus, this one insurance company faced these two contrasting choices when dealing with the international house building company with the very short sighted, but dangerously powerful CEO. Would this powerful insurance company choose to use its powerful rhyming name to enable the instrument of insurance to crush the skull and break the bones like the ancient uneducated, irreligious cave man broke the bones and skulls of his enemies? Or would the enlightened 21st century insurance company follow the lead of the healing approach of Mrs. Tiger Woods in the way she used the same instrument that crushed golf balls as an instrument to save life? So would the company use its considerable experience and leverage to being about mediation and healing or would it choose to facilitate personal destruction and neglect of the urban poor? Unbelievably, irrationally the insurance company chose to emulate the worst of the uneducated cave man skull crushing style. Without ever giving the visionary and innovative servant of the poor of Jordan even one opportunity to explain or refute any evidence presented by the CEO, shockingly and probably illegally the insurance company is reported to have awarded the CEO's supposed Christian Charitable organization, full monetary damages. So this unreasonable choice by the insurance company left the resourceful servant of the poor supposedly being liable to repay the supposedly unbiased, fair insurance company the full amount which the servant of the poor in Jordan supposedly embezzled when he did not in reality steal a nickel. So until some outside mediators or outside circumstances insert justice into this situation, this is how a true servant of the poor in Jordan and the poor themselves in Jordan are being treated. Though both the servant and those he served continue to earnestly pray that GOD will give him another fair opportunity to serve the deserving poor of that great nation. No Habeas Corpus AllowedOne irony is that the U.S. CEO's false accusations against his very committed, highly successful national director for seven years, came not because of his lack of success in helping the poor. But the accusations that forced him to resign were directly related to the punitive and authoritative concept of what the CEO himself thought that it meant to help the poor with their housing needs. For the CEO had a my way or the highway philosophy even if this meant that the highway he was alluding to would lead directly to an unjust prison sentence in Jordan or in the U.S. unless a large amount of virtual extortion money was quickly paid without any appropriate tangible evidence other than innuendo, rumor and gossip, and irrelevant auditing, that it was owed without the victim having adequate opportunity to explain the causes of the accounting confusion that gave the false appearance of possible potential embezzlement. Tragically, it also did not much matter to the calloused CEO that the main victims of his rigid unwillingness to allow mediation and open communication to be involved in the solution process were the urban poor of Jordan, even more so than injuring the former director, though he was callously and abruptly deprived of any longer using his considerable experience, and expertise and foreign language skill in unselfishly serving the poor of Jordan. Significantly, most of these economically deprived families were virtually unanimously appreciative of the encouragement and help that his innovation and leadership had brought into their lives. Insight from former National Security Advisor, Zbigniew BrzezinskiAs unusual as it may seem, former Carter Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, offers us insight into the contrasting views that the authoritarian, conservative CEO had with his visionary, innovative national director in Jordan. Significantly, the international CEO seems to be more of an unrealistic Dick Cheney type when it comes to meeting the deeper needs of Jordan's urban poor. In a strong contrast to this man's unreality, his connected with the people subordinate was much more of a compassionate, realistic visionary like Barack Obama. So he was much more desiring to meet the long range needs of the urban poor such as job training for those who have impoverished families, but due to their lack of job skills have very limited financial resources. Mr. B, writing in the January/February 2010 Foreign Affairs Journal in an article entitled "The Audacity of Hope", makes this relevant observation about the obstacles faced by President Obama in attempting to meet deeper and practical foreign policy needs through his own subordinates who have much less of a broad, reality based vision than the President has. However, in the situation we are addressing, the attitudes are reversed. In the house building organization serving Jordan, it is the lower subordinate national director who has the required vision while it is the international CEO who is the bottleneck that blocks the lower organizational employee from appropriately meeting Jordan's poorer Muslim families' reality based needs. It is quite relevant to this problem when Mr. B. states about President Obama " his grand redefinition of U.S. foreign policy is vulnerable to dilution or delay by upper-level officials (CEO's) who have the bureaucratic predisposition to favor caution over action and the familiar over the innovative." Therefore, the relevant question is: Should the national director who wonderfully does not possess the serious limitations described by this former National Security Advisor, really be facing potential prison time for not having these inadequacies and liabilities? Should he actually have his needed career of helping the poor ended and face financial ruin for not returning money that he did not take and has no access to in order to pay the virtual extortion money demanded by the CEO through his complicit, manipulated insurance company? Unreasonably, the bureaucrats at this complicit insurance company have regressed to the brutal strong arm tactics of a cave man to solving this problem that requires an enlightened 21st Century approach. Thus, the CEO who is hopelessly stuck in his anacronistic status quo perspective is unwisely enabled by those of us who have complacently folded our hands as we quietly watch the powerful punish, disable and silence the realistic visionary who is the one who has the needed compassion, required innovative skills and the necessary motivation to meet the practical needs of the urban poor. And this is while the CEO remains committed to the less noble goal of maintaining the status quo of his international organization. Thus, he has a low regard for anyone who rocks the boat in order to meet the long range needs of those families who possess so little. But in a wicked contrast, both this comparatively wealthy CEO and the wealthy insurance company executives do not care that the poor of Jordan have so little because they themselves have so much. Significantly, this national director in Jordan understood both the language of the urban poor as well as fluently understanding and speaking their Arabic language. The fact that in his seven years as director, his team accomplished the impossible task of building 400 houses whereas the previous directors team had built zero houses in two years should have received special recognition but he did not. Obtaining the hundreds of permits required in an extremely challenging environment without even factoring in the actual building and the neighborhood cooperation that was required, was an unimaginable task for which to not receive company recognition. But the poor who were benefitted were especially appreciative and that was who the director and his persevering staff were working for. Same Serpent Also Bit Blackwater FounderIn addition to the venomous Serpent named Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely, there is one more victim of its deadly venom that must be brought from the dark obscurity, where this victim likes to hide, out into the light of public knowledge. Therefore, in addition to the CEO who does not value Jordan's urban poor, in addition to the Israeli Mossad's Chief, Meir Dagan and in addition to the U.S. former Vice President, Dick Cheney, there is a financial beneficiary and probably close friend of Mr. Cheney's that must be cited as another deadly venom victim. The man that I refer to, according to a December 21/28, 2009, investigative article in the The Nation Magazine by Jeremy Scahill, is the founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince. Although the U.S. denies it, his organization has footprints in not only Iraq and Afghanistan, but also in Syria and now in Pakistan, and apparently even in Uzbekistan. According to The Nation article, whose author was also interviewed the next month by NSNBC's Rachel Maddow, a military intelligence source told the article's author about Blackwater's involvement in Pakistan which is not at war with the U.S., "This is a parallel operation to the CIA. They are two separate beasts." I personally find it exceptionally significant that the investigative reporter, Jeremy Scahill, who wrote the article for The Nation, who was also interviewed by Rachael Maddow, additionally wrote the ominous expose' : The World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army. The significance that I see is about his name Jeremy which is directly related to the famous Old Testament Prophet Jeremiah who unsuccessfully attempted to warn ancient Jerusalem about the Judgment that would most certainly visit that city if the people of that important city did not soon heed his many warnings. History reveals that Jerusalem did not listen and the results were historically tragic. Thus, I am personally convinced that if the U.S. does not soon listen to Jeremy Scahill's ominous warnings about the U.S. heavy involvement with Blackwater, the results of our not listening to this virtual latter day Prophet's often repeated warnings will also bring tragedy to the U.S. like certain tragedy was the consequence to the Prophet Jeremiah's Jerusalem. (Please read his book, Lamentations for a vivid account of the tragic consequences to Jerusalem.) Viper's Poisonous Pilate-like Power Over Its VictimsIt is dreadful how those who have been bitten by the Power Corrupts Viper think that they actually have God's mandate to bring suffering to other entities. So these transmitters of poisonous power are punishing the alleged Muslim enemies of Israel or punishing Jordan's urban poor or punishing those from Islam whom Blackwater has contracted with the U.S. to target victims in various nations who are not even at war with U.S., but are nevertheless targeted as military enemies of the U.S. In each of the aforementioned situations, the methodology seems to be to disregard the redeemable value of the supposed enemy and either, keep him poor, incapacitate him or kill him as occurs in the Blackwater syndrome. Significantly, of the four powerful persons I have referred to as being injected with viper venom, each have the Pontius Pilate-type power and authority over life and death as referred to in Luke 20:20 of the Injeel with the exception of the CEO not having authority to bring about death. Yet, even he had the authority over death when you realize his denial of job training to a father could lead to premature death of his children through under nourishment. The Noble Mrs. WoodsNo matter whether Mrs. Woods was angry with her wandering husband or not, she dug down into her heart and mind and did something very innovative and noble. She took the very instrument that her famous husband used to smash golf balls and smashed the window of the car so his unconscious body could be extracted from the wrecked SUV so he could receive potentially life-saving medical care. But did the international house building organization or the international insurance company act nobly to either certain impoverished families of Jordan or to the national director who had worked so many 12 hour days and had so many unique, innovative ideas? No! They fulfilled the rhyming name of the insurance company which ironically rhymes with the brutal weapon the uncivilized caveman used to crush his enemies skulls! But nobly, they could have followed the noble Mrs. Wood's example and have become healers. The key point being missed is this: Neither the falsely accused dedicated national director nor the poor families that he is now unjustly being prevented from serving, are true enemies of the international organization. So why are the two powerful entities of the insurance company and the international building organization brutalizing the director and brutalizing the poor he was so helpfully serving? For they truly do not deserve to be crushed like the ancient uncivilized cave man crushed the skulls of his real enemies, not his imagined, invented enemies. Muslim Poor are Just Collateral DamageWhether it was the CEO's desire to have the national director not exercise flexibility beyond the companies rigid guide lines that met only the limited needs of the poor, but not other long-range needs. Or, whether it was the CEO's desire to prevent the company from expanding, in order to meet the housing needs of out of favor West Bank, mostly Muslim, Palestinians. Or, whether it was a mixture of both, the bottom line was that the falsely accused Jordan national director was never given a chance to bring the complicated circumstances into the open to prove his innocence. And even the supposedly neutral insurance company caved into its own absolute power and paid off the claimant international company who undoubtedly had many lucrative international contracts with the large international organization, without ever even once allowing the accused to present the insurance company his evidence and his side of what truly had occurred. So is it possible that there was at least one insurance company official who had also been bitten by the viper named "Power Corrupts"? But the bottom line is this: Because this one dedicated servant of the poor has been now eliminated from his visionary and resourceful opportunity to serve Jordan's urban poor, the calloused CEO will have his own way of excusing the great loss he has brought to those in severe need families. He can just say to himself and to anyone who is concerned: "The now deprived urban poor families are just necessary collateral damage?" "Woe to the powerful U.S. CEO who uses his temporary power to deprive poor Muslim families of life's necessities! Does he not know that the Almighty will forever remove his power like a puff of smoke is blown away by a gentle breeze?" Why should woe be on this CEO? Because for over a year and six months, even with this prolonged consideration, he has made the following decision without any consideration or regard for the very negative impact his selfish decision has on Jordan's Muslim urban poor. A true innovative leader had emerged in his organization who had brought true needed innovative, transformational change for the urban poor that Jordan's leading Business magazine had celebrated. But this controlling CEO rejected this change and virtually assassinated these hopes for the urban poor by ruthlessly substituting his own stale status quo approach. He eliminated the transformational person from the organization over which he himself had the power to corrupt. For he figuratively had been badly bitten by the Power Corrupts Viper. The Relevance of Guantanamo's Secret PrisonAn important, but totally neglected theme that Christians virtually never hear mentioned in our Churches is the emphatic teaching exposing Hebrew racism. Therefore, since the Scriptures exposure of this blatant racism is swept under the rug, the Scriptures end up not being a valuable basis for teaching against often equally blatant Christian racism. For instance, how many church attendees have heard it explained that a primary emphasis of the Book of Jonah is not that a great big fish is able to swallow a disobedient Prophet? Rather, it is a penetrating book that reveals a compassionate GOD's total intolerance of a Prophet having a very racist attitude toward non-Hebrew Ninevites. Similarly, how many Christians have heard it explained that the reason the Messiah was almost murdered by his home town Nazareth synagogue attendees for his pointing out to them a truth about GOD's lack of racism? He vividly revealed to them that twice in their Scriptures GOD purposely by-passed showing special mercy to Hebrews in order to show special mercy on those foreigners whom they looked down upon. So they were so enraged at his audacity at pointing that out (Luke 4) that they attempted to push him off a cliff in order to murder him. But he escaped. Also, the Jews of the Messiah's time virtually hated the supposedly inferior Samaritans. So four different times the Messiah by-passed Jews to make Samaritans the heroes in one vivid story and in three encounters. But bringing these at least twenty century old events up to Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday today, here is the real racism shocker that came from MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and his one knowledgeable guest on Countdown. Significantly, there will be a February 16th Harper's Magazine article, an article in the February 5 edition of The Week magazine on page 14 and an article in February 15 issue of The Nation magazine with many more details, but here is essentially the blatant, murderous racism that occurred under the Bush administration. Three Muslim Arab prisoners were viciously murdered by stuffing torn bed sheets down their throats at an additional secret Guantanamo prison where there were not U.S. military personnel. But the obvious cruel murders, which could not possibly have been suicides, were signed off on as suicides. But several eye witnesses, not to the actual murders, but to the movements of the murdered men's bodies have come forward totally contradicting the official government account of what occurred, making it highly likely that it was CIA types (who were probably white nominal Christians my addition) who viciously and cruelly murdered these three Muslim defenseless prisoners. But what especially makes these obviously malicious murders so extra horrible, is that this eye witness information has put the Obama Justice Department in a horrible position. It virtually forces their Justice apparatus to cover up these atrocious murders so as not to open up a can of worms of publicly bringing these U.S. government non military employees to justice. For to have an open, just investigation would disclose uncomfortable facts about who the murderers were, who knew about the murders, and who ordered or approved the murders. Why do I bring up both the cover-up of the Bible's accounts of racism by Jews as well as discussing these here and now accounts of horrible U.S. Government racism against Muslim Arabs? To vividly demonstrate that to cover-up the type of racism that the CEO most probably engaged in against severely economically deprived urban Muslims in Jordan is really not a big deal, or exceptional. It is just the way our Hebrew and Christian society historically has been and now still is. And for this probably white Christian CEO to be very upset with this national director having too much compassion for the urban Muslim poor so that he rocked the boat of his limited compassion status quo organization was not acceptable to the CEO. But the way he treated those economically disadvantaged Muslims as acceptable collateral damage is definitely not acceptable to GOD. Nor is this callousness acceptable to His compassionate, still alive Messiah. The legitimate question is this. If the three Arab Muslim men who were so ruthlessly murdered at the secret Guantanamo prison, had been white Christians instead of Arab Muslims, would they have actually been murdered by quite possible nominal Christian CIA types? And similarly, if the deprived urban poor in Jordan had not been Arab Muslims, but white even nominal Christians, would the CEO so casually have deprived them of such an innovative, needed leader on trumped up charges? The Parable of the Potentially Good Muslim TerroristThe bottom line is this. Until the U.S. government's policy makers and key leaders of the U.S. Christian Church and key U.S. CEO's and key U.S. policy makers etc. can get one vital issue straight, the U.S. is doomed to lose its so called struggle against Islamic extremism. And this struggle cannot be effectively fought with full scale naked body scanners at airports. For this struggle is going on inside the hearts and minds of the nominal Christian authorities even more so than in the hearts and minds of the potential Islamic extremists. And none of this hate, hostilityand resentment can be detected by mechanical body scanners. Therefore, U.S. Christian elders must get rid of the calluses that have formed over their own eyes toward GOD and toward His Messiah's loving attitude toward all Muslim human beings so that they begin to see each Muslim as precious, and that GOD desires all of us to see all Muslims in the same way that He sees them. Until this change occurs in hearts and minds, this struggle against both Islamic extremism and Christian extremism will continue and continue and bring more hate, hostility, resentment, and killing. Thus, the time has arrived for us to see the Messiah's Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 with new enlightened eyes. This famous parable was intended as a blistering indictment and an exposure that the compassionate Messiah told against the Jewish religious establishment. The badly confused Jewish establishment wrongly, saw themselves as good and the Samaritans bad. But his famous parable vividly exposed that very wrong attitude about the supposed badness of Samaritans and the supposed goodness of Jews. Today, many self righteous Christian elders and nominal Christian CIA types, FBI types, CEO types, and military types see Islamic extremists as the threat and the enemy without seeing ourselves as the major reason for their hate and resentment toward us. Therefore, until we take the Weapons of Mass Destruction out of our own eyes as Jesus/Isa told the Pharisees to take the log out of their eyes, and see ourselves as the main problem and are finally able to see every last Muslim as precious to GOD and to His now living Messiah, we will not be truly effective in stopping passenger planes from potentially dropping out of the sky. For the biggest problem is in our own hearts more than in the underwear of a confused young man who hates us while we demean him and his Muslim community. And if we do not actually demean him and his brother and sister Muslims as they perceive us as doing, we have been very effective at putting a dark bucket over the light and love we are supposed to show all Muslims. And until the so called Christian Church takes the lead in changing our own hearts of resentment and even hearts filled with hate toward Muslims, the U.S. is in deep, deep, deep trouble. And the salt of supposed Christians has truly lost all its ability to preserve, but instead has become an ugly agent to being us Judgment. Truly, I say to the U.S. Christian Church and to all Muslims. If the Messiah Jesus/Isa were in the U.S. today, it would not be either Jewish or Muslim leaders whohe would be telling a blistering parable against. Additionally, it would not be a hated Samaritan who would be the hero of his story. Rather, the hero would be a healed Muslim terrorist who would demonstrate to all of us how we must conquer our enemies with love if either of us is to survive. And shamefully, the villain of the Messiah's blistering parable would be the U.S. Christian Church. Beware!Oh the people of especially the U.S.! Beware! Heads up! The time has now arrived when it is no longer a luxury without serious consequences when U.S. citizens are able to treat their international Muslim neighbors in an unloving, disrespectful way without paying a horrible cost. If the people of the U.S. want to continue to live in a society that is not under siege and not going bankrupt paying the horrible economic cost of a society under siege, there is a definite requirement. All persons who at present flagrantly ignore the specific obligatory command from both our GOD and from His Messiah to love our neighbors, are bringing on our society unintended, but obvious judgment. So we must bury our self indulgent, negative, Muslim-phobic attitudes toward all Muslims. Then, we must sincerely plead with GOD to empower us to do our best to love each and every Muslim. For our Messiah showed us the way to love by even requesting forgiveness for those who were cruelly murdering him. He even loved the virtually unlovable Jewish hypocrites by confronting them with the great damage they were doing to already bruised people by their repulsive hypocrisy and their calloused arrogance. Therefore, Christians acting similar to Jewish Pharisees, and being unwilling to sincerely love Muslims, is no longer an acceptable option. Instead, loving and treating all Muslims with respect is now possibly a matter of our free society's survival even though some may wrongly insist that all Muslims are the enemy. But the fact is, very few Muslims are extremists. Rather, most are kind, warmly hospitable, definitely are not extremists, and are very loved by God. To all of humanities great loss, a wonderful truth is now being totally neglected by those who control counterterrorism efforts and also ignored by the media who cover these often unsuccessful efforts. Love and justice are the most effective counterterrorism stategies. For murder is hiding in hate filled hearts and not in smelly underwear. back to "Late 2007 - 2009" page __________________________________________________________ _________________________________________ __________________________ _____________ |
